Inspired by the following passage from “Love’s Ordeal” by George MacDonald:
But when I find a heart whose blood is wine; —
Whose faith lights up the cold brain’s passionless hour;
Whose love, like unborn rose-bud, will not pine,
But waits the sun and the baptizing shower–
Till then lies hid, and gathers odours fine
To greet the human summer, when its flower
Shall blossom in the heart and soul and brain,
And love and passion be one holy twain–
About Christi
I am a single mother with two young daughters who are the world to me. I am a philosophy professor, especially fond of Kierkegaard and Augustine. Presently, I teach as an adjunct at a plethora of colleges in the Houston area, trying to make ends meet.
Creating art brings me immense joy, but only recently have I begun to venture into the arena of making my creations a consumer commodity. I'd rather my work be created as a good in itself, and given to those I love. But necessity breeds invention, they say, and human beings have to eat.
